Wolverine Reintroduces a Fan Favorite Mutant
In the previous issue, Laura returned home to find Gabby waiting on the porch, with half of her face’s skin having mysteriously melted away. Following their successful collaboration with Xarus, the son of Dracula, in combating a sudden surge of vampire-related issues during the “Blood Hunt” event, Gabby chose to stick around and assist the half-vampire in tackling more supernatural menaces. The duo’s unique talent for vanquishing undead foes led them to the Ossuary in Paris, where they clashed with the sorceress Strega and her army of demon-vampire robots. To Strega, who regarded the transformed tourists as her own offspring, Gabby’s attempt to interfere was an affront she could not forgive. Consequently, Strega and her allies disappeared, but not before casting a curse upon Gabby, leading to the skin-loss incident. Tragically, the curse continued to spread, eventually claiming her arms as well.
